He's a purveyor of all kinds of overpriced carp. $175 stacks for this gem:

I’m with @Ride the Tiger. Earlier this year I had a Hulk 181 “delivered” to my office downtown (don’t want anything sitting on my suburban doorstep) that was “signed” for by someone that doesn’t exist. All verified by the online tracking, which I immediately protested. Luckily their customer service got back to me before I could call the State’s Attorney’s office the next day, and my book was delivered for real later on the day. I’m sure you can imagine how many people I intended to sue and/or file charges on if things had turned out differently.

The article is also two years old, more has transpired since then obviously. I’m not motivated to look up the specs at the moment though.

If I remember from the last time I looked it up, Kessler/Bristol owns something like 50 million shares (ie a controlling interest). Wizard even prepaid their office space lease money for some oddball term. Space they’re leasing from Kessler btw.

Paul Kessler and his firm already own most of the shares if memory serves. What his plan is for Wizard once bankruptcy wipes out the rest of the shareholders is anyone’s guess.

Reply: ”With this sale I told my son I could buy him (x). Now I can’t, and you’ve ruined his Christmas. Go have relations with yourself deadbeat.”

I saw the extended preview for this before The Grinch. I told my wife, “Now you see how Marvel ruined their product.”

Worst episode ever.

If anyone ever uses the “father pregnant” excuse, I will cancel with nary a word. And applaud while doing so.

By the clown prince's definition of trimming, CGC is missing plenty of it too...

I read the feedback that the perp left, and I got a kick out of this -- "Book TRIMMED to disgiuse ROLLED SPINE" First, he misspelled "disjuice." (Noun; definition - the desired juice; usage - "I'll have a glass of disjuice instead of coffee with my bacon and eggs.") Second, while I'm no trimming expert, why would anyone trim a book to DISGUISE a spine roll? And more importantly, how? Seems to me such a process would entail removing the staples, cutting the entire spine down, somehow reattaching the covers into a new spine, then re-inserting the staples. If only this industry had a pressing process that could safely mitigate spine rolls, such wonton destruction could be avoided...

At 15% off (pg 9) I can't turn this one down.

Put one on my tab, gotta have me a GSX1 homage.

Happy Thanksgiving! And to heck with this guy -- jastoc_47 Woke up to a winning offer on my 9.8 Vengeance of Bane 2nd print...and this follow-up nonsense: "I didn't realize that this was a second print, I would like to retract my offer" "I apologize for the inconvenience but I don't want this book, I was turkey tired" "It is a great book but I don't want to purchase this. I do apologize. I didn't realize that this was a second print. I am sorry for the inconvenience" For the record, between the title, photos, and description, 2nd print is mentioned 5 times in my listing. Take a walk thrill bidder/offerer.

Wait till they use “My colon is back logged” as an excuse...

@James J Johnson you got a new target.

Wonder what the upcharge was for that.

-- young Stanley Lieber made his comic-book debut with the text filler "Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge" in Captain America Comics #3 -- He graduated from writing filler to actual comics with a backup feature, "'Headline' Hunter, Foreign Correspondent", two issues later. I had to read it over a couple times myself.

I believe that is correct.

You have his eBay username and can tie his GMail messages to your transaction with that account. Law enforcement can subpoena eBay for his info if it’s deemed warranted. You don’t need to play junior detective on this.

No doubt we've all got stories of regret. Great buy!

Have you never seen MSNBC or CNN?

sorry about the extraneous spoilers!

Bill Maher is a lot like the shingles virus -- you don't think about it, you probably forgot its there, but then it unexpectedly pops up to cause a brief period of painful annoyance.

The description cracks me up -- "I didn't take care of it, I damaged it trying to clean it, and I may be coming off as a little suicidal. Bid now!"
